About the role

TELUS Health is empowering every person to live their healthiest life. Guided by our vision, we are leveraging the power of our leading edge technology and focusing on the uniqueness of each individual to create the future of health. As a global-leading health and well-being provider – encompassing physical, mental and financial health – TELUS Health is improving health outcomes for consumers, patients, healthcare professionals, employers and employees.

Join our team and what we'll accomplish together

Help 9 million plan members stay connected to the benefits they depend on.

TELUS Health Retirement and Benefits Solutions has been delivering automated administration and support for nearly 30 years — managing pension and benefits plans for corporations, government organizations, and multi-employer plans across Canada and the United States.

Our post-implementation support team is the backbone of that promise. We don't just process tickets; we solve the technical and operational challenges that keep our clients and their members connected to critical resources. We're looking for a Senior Consultant, Administrative Solutions who combines technical expertise with a genuine passion for mentoring others and improving how we serve our clients.

In this role, you'll own database solutions, mentor a talented technical team, and collaborate with colleagues across Health & Welfare plan administration and implementation. You'll work with cutting-edge platforms like our Ariel administration system, tackle complex data challenges, and help eliminate the friction that prevents members from accessing the Health & Welfare portal and other critical resources.

If you thrive in solving technical problems, love helping colleagues grow, and want to make a tangible impact on how millions of people access their benefits, let's talk.

What you'll do

Database Solutions & Reporting

You'll be the go-to person for designing and building data solutions that power client operations. Your week might include:

Developing SQL queries and reports to solve real-world client challenges

Building automated reporting solutions using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) so the team can focus on higher-value support

Creating self-service reports with SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) that empower clients and internal users

Preparing ad hoc analyses and supporting data clean-up initiatives that improve data quality

Process Improvement & Problem-Solving

You'll identify opportunities to work smarter, not harder. You'll collaborate with business partners to understand their challenges, then design automated solutions that streamline workflows and improve standard operating procedures. You'll be the person who asks "Why do we do this manually?" and then builds the solution that saves hours each week.

Team Leadership & Mentoring

As a senior voice on the team, you'll mentor colleagues in troubleshooting complex technical challenges, developing their expertise in database solutions and client communication. You'll manage ticket queue priorities, ensure adherence to incident and deliverable SLAs, and maintain quality control across team deliverables. You'll help your teammates grow technically while supporting them through challenging client situations.

Documentation & Communication

You'll create clear technical and user documentation for procedures and technologies, ensuring knowledge is accessible to the whole team. You'll respond to requests from the administration team, clients, and internal stakeholders — translating complex technical concepts into language that resonates with non-technical audiences.
